Today was my post-surgery appointment with the Amazing Dr. Burke. and at this appointment he surprised me with something I sure as hell didnt see coming. he undid my wire & bands and let me open my mouth for the first time! you have no idea how amazing it was to see my top and bottom teeth touch. my top is slightly over my bottom. I can smile. I have a midline. I can say my S's for real. I cried. I still cry sometimes out of excitement and its been 12 hours since the appointment. I am allowed to "eat" now even though all 5 of my jaw muscles were torn its all good! hell no I cant eat pizza or steak yet :( but I can say for real S's people! yeah its been a week and a day and Ive barely eaten/drank a thing. the doc said I have such strong jaw bones he sees quick and successful recovery- but not quick enough :( still no band, no school, and I still have to wear the mold & bands when Im not eating. all I can say is its been the shittiest longest depressing emotional stressful week to my knowledge and a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's been there for me, whether is was with a milkshake or a phone call :) it makes me happy to know the band is doing well and my section is behaving (for the most partt) but I still wish I could march. I feel like Im missing out on so much even though its only been a couple rehersals and a show. time needs to go by faster than it has. being home all the time is nice to a certain extent, then I just go crazy. so it looks like tonight is a night of movies since I do not sleep, and tomorrow is a homework day. eeeeeeeeeee! time for some more drugs. Goodnight.
